Tekken 7 Director Is Tired of Trying to Avoid Offending People; Devs Will Do What they Want

My god I love her.

[mango-thot-deactivated20190520]

I know people are gonna get salty af about this but by God she’s RIGHT.

When Brad Pitt did Fight Club, he was cutting weight for every single scene to maintain his physique at 155. I’ve you’ve ever cut weight, you know how horrible that must have been. He did it because they needed a “look”.

Changing Tatum said his Magic Mike body doesn’t last for more than five days. He starved down and dehydrated his already fit physique for a “look”.

The male soldiers on Spartacus: Blood and Sand were eating pretty much chicken and veggies for every meal to maintain a “look”.

Why is this such a big deal? Because all these characters are considered physical goals for men. These are actual unobtainable physical standards for men. Male body image issues get swept under the rug so often that some people don’t even think they exist.

[da-boy-o-kultur]

You want proof? Just check out that scene in Captain America: First Avenger where Cap just transformed into that beautiful beefcake of a man. Agent Carter’s actress just HAD to touch them muscles, it was completely unscripted.

[eric-coldfire]

Chris Evans had to wear shirts so small they physically hurt, and he dislocated a shoulder during the helicopter scene in Civil War. But who cares, girls got to wet their panties watching Captain America flex.

[guyveranimefan87-blog]

If we are talking about unrealistic physical standards of male fitness given to us by movies, I would like to mention Hugh “Wolverine” Jackman here.

Yeah, he is ripped, isn’t he?

Well, it is true, but to get that kind of definition, he went through 36 hour period of dehydration, which caused him to temporarily lose 10 pounds of “water weight”. 

Thus during the fight scene he was filming, he was a hair breadth from blacking out whole time, just to look unrealistically muscular.

As he said during interview with Steven Colbert, “If You go three days without water, You will die. Then, when You are halfway there they shout ‘Roll it!”

It’s the same with professional bodybuilders who get into periods of extreme fasting and dehydration to lower their fat-to-muscle ratio to inhuman levels, all in hopes of making their muscle definition a bit better.

According to experts, healthy body fat percentage for a healthy male ranges from 8% to 20%, depending on height, lifestyle and numerous other variables. 

Fitness model and professional bodybuilder Helmut Strebl also known as “World’s Most Shredded Man” as he supposedly managed to get his body fat percentage below 5%…

… But only when he partakes in competitions, since it is not humanly possible to live with such low fat percentage of one’s body for longer periods of time.

I mean, yeah, he keeps a draconian training regime, as well as a very strict diet even off-season, but looks much more human then…

There are documented cases of incredibly fit and muscular bodybuilders fainting on the stage in the middle of their flexing routines, as well as several who outright died, because of cardiac arrest caused by their blood becoming too thick, due to long dehydration…

And let’s not forget about Muscle Dysmorphia, colloquially known as “Megarexia” or “Bigarexia”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_dysmorphia

Yeah, it’s a thing, but it’s barely talked about, since it’s apparently not manly to admit to having problems like that, which also creates problems with researching this particular disorder…

So… Thanks Hollywood?

[fierceawakening]

I had no idea that most people who looked like this are dehydrated until I read posts like this.

[brunhiddensmusings]

dehydrated to the point theyre about a day away from actual organ failure okay so chris hemsworth is a absolute god of a man, but hollywood says ‘thats not good enough’ and for the thor movie he has to spend several days having the juice squeezed from his body untill he looses about a gallon of whats supposed to be him so that he can do 2 days of shooting scenes without his shirt, after which he has to have recovery time before he is hospitalized because i am not joking about ‘one day away from organ failure’ thats the benchmark- look at chris hemsworth and process that he is told he isnt suitable for a shirtless scene without prepping for three days and nearly fainting

I’m actually really curious. What culture do white people have?

[thebiggirlwavybro-deactivated20]

Robbery

[xmagnet-o]

Murder

[incarniunknown]

Okay but

• Greeks; ever heard of their mythology? Their philosophers? Their doctors?

• Romans; I think even you uneducated dumbnuts have heard of the Roman Empire. Yes, they were warmongers. And? They also were extremely smart and to this day we profit some inventions they have made ages ago.

• Vikings; raiders and generally violent, but their society was top notch. Hell, women had the same rights as men and were praised for keeping their homes safe while the men were out conquering land. Women were trained in the art of sword combat. Also, you might want to read about Norse Mythology, just to get a hint of our culture.

And that’s just the very few cultures I know some small hints about. I haven’t been going into Eastern Europe at all jut they got some cool stuff there, too.

Also, a bunch of “whites” you might want to inform yourselves about:

- Gustavus Adolphus - Socrates - Platon - Aristoteles - Pythagoras - Emperor Augustus - Emperor Gaius Julius Caesar - Emperor Nero

Or what about some artists? - Van Gogh - Claude Monet - Pablo Picasso - Albrecht Dürer - Salvador Dalí - Rembrandt - Wassily Kandinsky - Michelangelo - Franz Marc - Peter Paul Rubens - Sandro Botticelli - Max Beckmann

Or are you more interested in poetry? - Bertold Brecht - Friedrich Schiller - Goethe - William Shakespeare - Friedrich Schlegl - Robert Burns

Music, perhaps? - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Johann Sebastian Bach - Beethoven - Franz Liszt - Johann Strauss - Pjotr Iljitsch Tschaikowski - Carl Maria von Weber

Or, you can just go and look up certain eras. - Gothik - Renaissance - Victorian Era - Antiquity - Middle Ages (some may call it the Dark Ages) - Baroque Age

Y'know, you could just educate yourself before talking some racist bullshit, okay? Okay.

[archivedtdp-deactivated20240111]

Robbery and murder was also 100% performed by other races too, dumbasses.

[bloden]

People who like to shit on white people and say they have no culture also seem to forget that the US doesn‘t have one set culture because a considerable amount of it is a meddley of the cultures of the people that first immigrated there…

Oh, and that it‘s not the only mayority-white country on the planet.

Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.

Isaac Asimov.

[sim0nbaz-deactivated20170205]

yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point

[fancyeliza-deactivated20200804]

If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole - oft credited as one of the first scifi novels

Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it

even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?

PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame

[cryptovalid]

And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.

[gunthatshootsennui]

Kinda funny, considering this Isaac Asimov quote on the subject:

Mary Shelley was the first to make use of a new finding of science which she advanced further to a logical extreme, and it is that which makes Frankenstein the first true science fiction story.

[deathcomes4u]

Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.

[velocigrey-deactivated20160825]

You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.

the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman

Great post but lets erase the concept of fake geeks/fans entirely. If you like Star Wars, great, you’re a fan! Doesnt matter if you haven’t seen the prequels or read the comics or w/e, youre still a fan. Theres no skillcheck for fandom, regardless of if you know every detail or are strictly casual.

[takashi0]

None of y'all actually know what a fake geek actually is do you? A fake geek is someone who claims to be an authority on a subject but can’t even be arsed into remembering basic details about what they’re talking about or is lying out of their ass on what’s happened in it, and most importantly of all makes absolutely no effort to correct or better themselves.

And I’m not talking about the loser tubro-nerds that literally everyone hates saying you can’t consider yourself a real Star Wars fan if you don’t know this super obscure character who only showed up in this single issue of an Expanded Universe comic, I mean someone who can’t even be bothered to Remember Luke Skywalker’s name. 

Or someone who claims that a certain violent videogame rewards you for killing strippers when what actually happens is you get punished severely for it. 

They may be rarer than some people say but they still exist, and they’re usually people who try to convince you that the backlash against fake geeks is a “misogyny” problem in fandoms instead of people being pissed off at liars and con artists passing themselves off as geeks despite holding an obvious contempt for the subject matter

[celtic-pyro-deactivated20230725]

You can be a fake geek regardless of gender and women being at the forefront of most “geek” genres’ creation has no bearing on people in the modern day being know-it-alls about it.

[takashi0]

#i really wish people could talk about women in history in some context beyond just sticking it to men

[cookingwithroxy]

honestly at this point i’m just struck by an irony.

that the ‘Fake geek girl’ was, like, actually a thing once.

specifically there was a subgenre of camgirls/e-celebreties who were just

attractive women who posed with video games and controllers.

And that was it, it was basically women who were taking advantage of the boy nerd fantasy of ‘hot girl who wants to play video games with you’ to get money off of lonely nerds.

And then the term got perverted and thrown around so much that by now it’s not even taken in it’s original context.

And it’s not as if that role has gone away, we’ve ALL heard about one cosplayer or another who has no idea who the character they’re portraying is, they just like the aesthetic or the attention. Heck until a few years ago that was the role of booth babe to a T, looking like a character you can’t possibly know perfectly when the game hasn’t even come out yet.

Now, this isn’t me defending the term. It’s really just a moot point at this point, there’s no real need for it like there once was and no reason to reclaim it. But at the same time I’m really just.

Tired of the erasure that’s part of the whole ‘no fake geek girl’ attitude.

‘cause oh fucking hell it really was real. And at the time? it was REALLY insulting to all the real geek girls. Who either got treated as if we didn’t exist, or as if we were all frumpy and unattractive.

[emeraldmercury]

Fake geek girls still exist, only now they’re writing for Kotaku and Polygon and such, speaking over real geek girls and saying that they have “internalised misogyny” or whatever for being in nerd culture. And outright lying about the state of girls in gaming for an agenda. For example, what happened with geguri.

Ex - Anita Sarkeesian would even block female game developers who tried to call out her BS.

[mccarthyites]

In case anyone doesn’t get the joke: whenever blue collar workers get laid off bc of some stupid thing or other, journalists write articles telling them to “learn to code” and now that those journalists are being laid off, they are getting mad that people are telling THEM to “learn to code.”

[cisnowflake]

Remember, when progressive policies put blue collar workers out of work they just needed to suck it up and learn a new profession. When you’re a 35 year old child writing click bait garbage for some online rag and you get tossed out on your ass you deserve sympathy and respect.

[immaterialmurdoc]

I hate how this shit is either ignored or used as proof of “internalized misogyny” or any other “womyn are pure and innocent and men corrupt them into fighting against each other”, is the most weak argument you could ever make because it basically excuses the participation of women in bad mass behavior and so on or tries to claim men are somehow responsible for their actions too, like, is it that hard to understand human nature to be assholes? That just as many women created and participated in bigotry? That the women who keep upholding gender roles actually gain something from it and aren’t just “conditioned by the patriarchy” or whatever bullshit yall come up with?

Is strange how the “we are judging men as class so individual shouldn’t feel attacked” doesn’t apply your feminists of all sects when we bring this up and they get up in their feelings bringing some dramatic bullshit.

Roosevelt hid his declining health for years while president and his wife illegally performed as his stand-in as a result after he broke tradition and ran for a third term which is the reason it’s illegal to run for three terms now, plus his treatment of Japanese Americans during WWII and a bunch of other shit, but orange man bad i guess.
